BJP MP from Malkajgiri, Eatala Rajender, has criticized the Congress-led Telangana government over the BC caste census. He called it a political drama rather than a real effort for social justice.
Speaking at a press conference in Yadagirigutta on Sunday, Rajender said that if the Congress government was truly concerned about BC welfare, it should conduct the survey through a legally recognized institution. He also suggested that the government should pass a resolution in the Assembly to give the census legal status.
Rajender clarified that the BJP is not against the BC caste census and is ready to approve it in Parliament. However, he accused Congress of hypocrisy, questioning why the party never appointed a BC leader as Chief Minister in its 70 years of rule.
He further stated that, unlike Congress, which only talks about social justice, the BJP has shown real commitment by appointing leaders from marginalized communities to important positions whenever it comes to power at the Centre.
